Since I’ve read so much science fiction throughout the decades, I’ve begun to equate pretty much doing anything with Mars as either inviting our own Doom, or uncovering the presence of sentient life there. Sending germs to Mars? Jesus we’re precipitating our own demise.

Trailer: ‘We Are Legion’, The Anonymous Documentary.
I know that I cover them a lot here, and that coverage brings up some criticisms and comments that I find justified. But I can’t help it, I find Anonymous and their whole operation tremendously interesting. To pigeonhole them as geeks behind a keyboard is a bit inaccurate, and I feel reductive. They’re geeks behind keyboards, but also on the streets, and also wreaking havoc for things they believe in.

From what I’ve gathered via the news reports, there’s a moment of Battlefield 3 when you kill a rat. PETA has come to the obvious conclusion that this will turn us into animal-destroying blood drinks.

Asteroid Close Encounter Tonight! Bruce Willis On Standby.
We’re getting fucking buzzed tonight! I’m not talking the alcoholic-tinged pukey sense. I’m talking there’s an asteroid coming! Meet YU55. It’s a 1,300 foot piece of space refuse, and it’ll be coming closer to us than the moon.
